The application shown above uses a powered belt conveyor system for infeed and discharge of containers.

The belts are sanitary plastic mesh for wash-down applications. The filler, panel and conveyors are all built with stainless steel construction ready for wash-down. The typical fill rate is 4 pails per minute, depending on viscosity of liquid.

• Empty containers are placed onto the infeed powered belt conveyor to accumulate
• Air-operated stainless rods are used as escapements
• The operator presses a button discharging a full container and automatically releasing the escapement, allowing an empty container to advance to the fill station
• When the empty pail is in position, the operator presses the start button
• The lance will insert to the bottom of the container, if sub-surface filling
• The controller will zero the tare weight before the fill cycle begins
• When the fill cycle is complete, the lance will rise to its home position
• A pneumatic drip pan will move into place to catch any residue
• The operator will press a button to discharge the filled container, allowing a new empty container to arrive at the filling station
• The cycle repeats
